2012 Audi A4 3.0L Petrol · SO62 LBY

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, evidenced by a consistent history of passes over the last five years. The most recent test conducted on 16 September 2025 at 75,000 miles returned no defects or advisories, indicating that the car currently meets minimum regulatory standards. This trend suggests that the previous owners maintained the vehicle effectively, avoiding the mechanical or structural failures that typically affect vehicles of this age. The mileage pattern is notably low for a 14-year-old Audi, averaging approximately 5,357 miles per year. Between September 2021 and 2022, the car covered only 4,091 miles, suggesting a period of very light use. However, a significant increase in usage occurred between 2022 and 2025, where the vehicle clocked over 35,000 miles in three years. While the low total mileage generally reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, it increases the risk of age-related degradation in rubber components and seals during periods of inactivity. Given the clean MOT record, a physical inspection should focus on components susceptible to age and low-speed neglect. Check the suspension rubberwork and bushings for cracking or perishing, as these can degrade over time regardless of mileage. The buyer should also examine the brake discs for pitting or rust, as low-mileage cars often suffer from surface corrosion or seized calipers. Finally, a thorough check of the chassis for structural corrosion is necessary to ensure the long-term integrity remains intact despite the vehicle's age.
